MMC 30-Minute Menus for Romantic Valentine's Day Dinners

Are you planning a special dinner for Valentine's Day? I love to cook special dinners but don't have much time to prep (sound familiar?). I have some 30-minute dinner menu suggestions for you! You really can prepare a special dinner in 30 minutes - Flat! Let's get ready...

You will find that I use several cooking methods, mix and match, to put dinner on the table quickly. The foods I use to speed the prep are noted in parenthesis; you can always substitute your favorite made-from-scratch recipes when you have more time.

If you are serving an appetizer course with your dinner, check out the latest feature on my website - Party in a Bag giving you ideas for 30-minute appetizer courses or cocktail parties. I like the Easy Elegance for an elegant start to a wonderful meal: brie with mango chutney; smoked salmon with a dill dip; grapes and a green vegetable platter that will go well with the dill dip; water crackers; gourmet olives.

I sincerely hope you have fun with your holiday meal planning and preparation,Elizabeth Randall and Family

About Me

I am the mother of five grown children who are now starting families of their own so to say that I have 'been there, done that' is an understatement!
I decided to start this blog when I saw them struggling to pull family meals together and making the same (wrong) decisions I made. Through the years, I discovered that menu planning really works and that there are techniques to getting dinner on the table quickly night-after-night!
Entering eBiz has been a fun challenge for me. Mistakes have been made as well as lessons learned. Let's take the journey together.
I sincerely wish you the best,
Elizabeth Randall and Family
